Gibson Marketing Blitz?

[hixmix]

They're prominently played and displayed in several TV commercials(although the commercials aren't for the guitars themselves). Their recent tie-in with Universal Studios and House of Blues. Flooding Wal-Mart and Best Buy with the crap SG "Signature"(a $300.00 dollar guitar with the Gibson name on it but actually manufactured by Baldwin overseas) series. Higher end Gibsons offered at CostCo., undercutting MF, etc. online prices by two hundred dollars, Are they trying to become the McDonald's/Coca Cola of guitars? What's up?

I just saw a Gibson TV commercial. Yeah, it was for the guitar, with the tagline, "Only a Gibson is good enough".

My So-Cal is angered
